Best way of doing any washing is to get a female to do it! They do have some use. lol [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

A damp cloth with a bit of shampoo does the trick when i do my leathers

he wants to give them a thorough clean which is why he said about chucking them in bath, needs doing inside and out, thanks for suggestion

There was a company called Scrubbers who cleaned leathers but I just googled them and they have temporarily stopped trading. :(

Can't think of anyone else at present but I'm sure someone will think of somewhere!

I use a leather cleaner cream from Auto Glym. Works a treat!!!

I normally change leathers before they really need cleaning but do have a number at work for a cleaner I'll fish it out tomorrow

I normally wait for the rain and go out for a Blast works a treat, leaves leathers totally clean. :'( :'( ;D ;D

Or if its a dry Summer "Baby Wipes" They clean & moisturise all in one wipe :) [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]

thanks for the tips guys but thats all for cleaning the outside, he really wants the inside cleaned as well, any tips for cleaning the inside material getting a bit sweaty! Would the bath idea or a big washing machine work???

Don't do them in the washing machine or bath! If you want to freshen up use one of those frabreeze type sprays and leave them to hang outside - also ensure they are unzipped and hang upside down! Unless it has removable liner if so remove and bung in the machine
